Trying to Earn Global Online from the Philippines: Manila Mom is 98th in the Top 100 Philippine Blogs According to Ratified.org

This is a good wake up call to my lethargy. According Ratified.org, Manila Mom is number 98 in the top 100 blogs in the Philippine blogosphere. The ranking is based on Technorati data and feedburner stats.

Ratified.org also says I was ranked 96th yesterday. Too bad I was only able to check it out today.

Based on the stats displayed in my current ranking, though, the 98th position is based on Manila Mom's having 211 links from 125 blogs and a Technorati ranking of 36,280. As of today, however, Technorati reports that Manila Mom has links from 129 blogs and has a Technorati ranking of 35,172. I'm, therefore, looking forward to another update at Ratified.org. Hopefully, the blog could still rise up the ranks again a bit more.

This whole thing is really a surprise for me, considering that this blog is just a little more than two months old! Thank you very much for the support that all of you blog readers have shown here. You've been great during all my high and low moments.

It's also as if my Mom and Dad are nudging me to get on with the program already. And that's exactly what I'm going to do.

We're back on track, friends. Full speed ahead!!!

Trying to Earn Global Online from the Philippines: Clarifications on Maximizing the DoFollow Movement

Another day, another lesson learned.

I have just been gloating at how I have been maximizing the DoFollow movement by traipsing along the trail of DoFollow blogs, reading and commenting merrily along. I was under the impression that merely leaving comments relevant to the post I had just read on a DoFollow blog would result in a link back to my page. Apparently, it ain't necessarily so. (If I am again mistaken here, I would love to be enlightened some more.)

According to Andy Beard, from whose blog I learned how to remove nofollow from my blogger template, one should instead choose to comment on posts tackling a topic that you have also written on in your own blog. Your comment, while being relevant to the post, should also be linked not just to your blog in general but to your specific post on the topic. Links should always lead to related content and should also be "wrapped" in related and meaningful content.

I take this to mean, for example, that when I go to a DoFollow blog I better search for a post that talks about something I myself had already written about. The simplest way would be to find a post on DoFollow. After reading the post, I could then make a meaningful comment and leave a link within it - choosing relevant anchor text - leading back to my specific post on the topic. I hope I got it right this time.

Of course, I am not limited to DoFollow posts. I can find other posts on topics that I have also tackled.

Perhaps reading other blogs will also give me an idea of topics I would want to write on, giving my own opinions and angles. I could link to the blog that inspired me and return there to leave a comment linked to my new post.

So now I have a new way of doing things here.

What I have been doing hasn't been a total waste, though. As of this moment, this blog has been favorited by 107 members at Technorati and has 148 links from 89 blogs, upping its Technorati rank to 47,671. And I just saw that I have a Google page rank of 2/10. Not bad for less than two weeks' participation in the Favorites Exchange and a little more than a week in DoFollow, and for a blog that's just little more than a month old.

Things will improve even more as I implement what I have just learned, I hope.

And the more I surf and read, the more I learn. Part of my processing is expressing all those lessons learned here, both to share with my readers and to solicit advice in case I got things wrong again. I very much appreciate constructive straightening out.

P.S.

Engtech very kindly dropped by here and left a comment with a wonderful gift attached - a free software to automatically fave back everyone who faved you at Technorati. Clueless me had to go ask him how to use the software after I download it. He again kindly gave me instructions. Now I have it up and running. Hurray!!! This will save us a lot of time, folks. Just remember to run the program often, he says, because it may miss a few links on first pass but will definitely get all of them with succeeding passes.

Angels abound on the blogosphere and there are more to meet out there...

Trying to Earn Global Online from the Philippines: The Favorite Link Exchange List - My Addendum to The Ultimate Technorati Favorites Exchange

The Ultimate Technorati Favorites Exchange began by DoshDosh and which I'm also hosting here continues to be a great success for this blog. In fact, as of the time of this writing, I have been favorited by 101 members at Technorati.

I also have 131 links from 78 blogs. Although I believe most of those links are from my DoFollow activities, I also see a significant number of links from The Ultimate Technorati Favorites Exchange.

Having seven blogs poses a problem for me, though. I only have one Technorati account and can, therefore, only fairly exchange once with those who own only one blog. My other blogs are beginning to feel lonely. (If you have more than one blog, please let me know so we can do the corresponding exchange - if you're game, that is.)

To accommodate my other blogs, I put up my Favorite Link Exchange List at Cafe Romanza.

So how does it work?

1. First, you have to join The Ultimate Technorati Favorites Exchange here. (Follow the instructions in the post, including leaving a comment so I can fave you back.)

2. Go to the Favorite Link Exchange post at Cafe Romanza. Fave that blog, too, and leave a comment there that you've faved both Manila Mom and Cafe Romanza. I will add your blog as a permanent link on the Favorite Link Exchange List.

3. I have put a sticky announcement on the front page linked to the Favorite Link Exchange List so others can come see you on the list. They'll know you're open to a fave exchange and will most probably visit your blog to do so.

Nice exchange, don't you think?

If you feel like it, I will also appreciate very much if you link to Cafe Romanza in your blog. It's not a requirement, though.

It seems like the more I do here, the more there is to be done. The more I learn, the more there is to learn. I'm not complaining, though. I feel even more alive than ever! :-D

Trying to Earn Global Online from the Philippines: How to Grow at a Faster Pace

These past days have flown by at a dizzying rate for me. The first entry on this blog was last March 22. In about a week's time after that, I had put up five other blogs on different topics, all documented here, too.

Now, after only a month, this Manila Mom blog has pulled away from the other five in Technorati. How? Two very potent tools: The Ultimate Technorati Favorites Exchange and The DoFollow List!

I only posted the Favorites Exchange last April 15, and the DoFollow List last April 21. As of today, Manila Mom has been favorited by 86 members and has 118 links from 70 blogs. Its Technorati rank is 60,696. And every time I check, even within the same day, the numbers are changing.

Of course, all this is happening with work on my part, too. My comments are moderated so I check my email several times a day to process them. I do the favorites exchange and add links to the list. I also surf the dofollow sites and sites on my favorites list to read and comment. Well, this last part doesn't really feel like work because I enjoy doing it. I discover new blogs and learn a lot along the way. And I'm creating new links to my blog as I do it.

My days - and nights - have been busy. My friends based in the US and Canada are surprised to find me still online at 3 or 4 a.m. Manila time.

And I still dared to put up another blog just a few days ago - Manila Mom's Veranda at PinoyNetwork.org.

Well, it was an offer I couldn't refuse. PinoyNetwork.org is a very new baby of a fellow Filipina who shares the same contagious enthusiasm for exploring all that the internet can offer. I can already see the powerful potential of the network and am honored to be with her from this building up stage.

So that's where I'm at now, folks. All of these have been accomplished with the help of fellow bloggers and other friends, so I'm sharing it all with everyone, too.

Now to my life offline...yes, I still do have one! :-D

Trying to Earn Global Online from the Philippines: I Joined the Ultimate Technorati Favorites Exchange; You Can, Too

Feeling lonely at not having a lot of people who have listed your site among their favorites?

This post at Make Money Online The Quick and Easy Way alerted me to the Ultimate Technorati Favorites Exchange, an ongoing experiment began by Dosh Dosh.

Based on the original concept, this is how it goes:

1. You click to make me one of your Technorati Favorites. I'll make it easy for you by putting this button here: Add to Technorati Favorites Just click on it and come back here.

2. You have to leave a comment on this post so I can return the favor. Tell me your Technorati username so I can find you among those who will Favorite me from this post. (There will be droves, I hope! :-D )

3. This is very important: Include in your comment a link to your site (one site only) and, to keep things easy, the Technorati Fave button linked to your site. Also, please let me know if you only want me to fave you, or if you also have the Link List in your blog so I can add you to the list, too.

- Go to Technorati Tools. Click on Favorite Buttons.

- If you have several sites, make sure the one you have chosen to place here is the one in the "Make a custom button for" box.

- Copy the first code and paste in with your comment.

- I will click on that button later to add you to my Favorites.

- My Technorati username is tessasandiego. It will appear in the list of those who have made you their Favorite at your Technorati account.

- If this does not happen after 24 hours, leave me a new comment.

If all you want is one exchange, you're done.

If you want more exchanges, though, possibly enough to put you high up there in the Technorati Most Favorited blogs, you can do as I am doing and hold the same Ultimate Technorati Favorites Exchange in your blog.

1. Make a new post on this.

2. Give the same instructions, but in your own words.

DO NOT COPY AND PASTE from my post or any of the previous Exchange posts. Duplicate posts will hurt all of our standings, including yours.

3. Include a link to this post, mentioning that you learned about the Ultimate Technorati Favorites Exchange here and that it is still ongoing.

When I see this link through Technorati, I will add you to the list of Exchange hosts below. (If this does not happen within 48 hours, please leave me a reminder via a comment.)

4. Put a linked list of Exchange Hosts in your post, as below. This time, you may copy and paste the list from here. I've already added my link at the bottom. Add yours to your list, too.

If you just want an exchange of links without having to host the Ultimate Technorati Favorites Exchange, that's fine with me, too. You can either mention this post in your post, with a link to it, or you can add my site to your links list. Just let me know and give me your link so I can reciprocate.
